Do not believe the reviews they are fake. A con woman. We hired her and paid her in full to officiate our wedding. We repeatedly requested a brief traditional ceremony. I was explicit in the Bible verses we wanted used which were symbolic to us. Freya pretty much showed up unannounced on her first visit calling repeatedly. I gave her a check thinking she needed the money and sure enough it was cashed the next day. She immediately went on a campaign to sell more insisting I must try a veil and crown of hers only she never brought them over until literally 9:30 pm the Thursday night before my wedding (so let’s say 36 hours out and we have our license in hand) she said was going to come by at 8 presumably to go over our service which I told her we could do by phone however she was insistent and finally shows up after 9:40. I had a feeling by her persistence she wanted to sell me something and sure enough she showed up with the box of veils in hand and a corny homemade crown to try to sell me. She then kept asking about blessing the food which we told her repeatedly was not necessary because we didn’t want her at the reception it was intimate 40 very close friends and family and 125.00 a head plus drinks. She pushed the issue til I was left uncomfortable and embarrassed because the only thing left was to flat out say WE DO JOY WANT YOU AT OUR RECEPTION. She not only invited herself but suddenly her husband was coming too! She then asked me if she felt so moved could she spontaneously sing at the ceremony. I requested a private few minutes with my new husband and we instructed repeatedly what we wanted her to say.
What happened at our wedding cannot be undone. In what can only be described as a narcissist rage this woman purposely not only did not do ANY KIND of wedding vow asking my husband to say to me “my love will
You be my wife “ we were stunned. That was it our only vow. She could not say our names. She insulted our family by saying we couldn’t follow directions when she was so far behind the unity candle had been lit and she didn’t realize it. She ONLY stated the things we specifically asked her NOT to say and guess what ....STILL STAYED AND ATE IUR DINNER HOLDING OUR MARRAUGE LICENSE THE ENTIRE TIME til the last piece of cake.
I am devastated. Truly. This was a once in a lifetime moment...a MONKEY could have been trained to do a better job than her...and it was purposeful. We have retained counsel for the damage this wan has done. We spent over 10k on just that portion of the evening we can never redo it never have that moment back and she destroyed it because I didn’t buy a veil or let her sing. She shows up with a giant podium which makes her look really really important and she cannot pronounce anything. Not ONE WORD OF WEDDING vows were given to us. She replaced my bible verses with a ridiculous Lord Byron poem she could not even pronounce. Do not hire do not even consider it I have 40 guests and vendors who all saw what she did I’ll be happy to give you names. A disgrace to the word minister

Rev. Freya, When working she is easy going and determined to make her Brides dreams come true. Custom sermon, wedding arch, loads of flower decorations, rental dishes and she even set up our coffee area.

Freya Harris Scarpa is professional in every aspect of her wedding planning. From her flowers to the dishes, everything detail is professional and crisp. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a lovely wedding with elegance, flair, style, and professionalism to very core.

Rev.Freya was great,she was very flexible.We were supposed to get married by the water but mother nature had different plans for the weather,so we quickly had to change the location so to tornado warnings and hurricane like wind and rain.
Our wedding was amazing and beautiful thanks to rev.Freya
